No, you're not confused. And yes, that is my main gripe. However: - It's my main gripe because I think it's likely to actually happen. Whereas I don't think actual spelling reform would take it quite as far as I just did. - I've just been studying lots of Latin and Old English, so pre-vowel shift spelling is more on my mind than usual. - Frankly, complaints about America wouldn't look nearly so funny when I try typing them.
